Happy 10th Birthday OzSTOC
« on: August 27, 2021, 12:58:17 PM »
As near as I can figure, OzSTOC is ten years old, perhaps in the next few days, so HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY OzSTOC.    :Cake2

I want to pay tibute to our founders Streak and Diesel, and to all who have had a part to play in OzSTOC management.    OzSTOC is an important part of my life and motorcycling, and has enabled me to build wonderful relationships with like minded people all over Australia.    When I rode my "Lap" a couple of years back, the friendship and hospitality that OzSTOC members offered was one of the great highlights of my trip, and I know that those friendships will persist.  I am sure we all look forward to the time we can gather together again, which we hope will the be Mannum SA NatRally in 2022.

Good on you for noticing this, Pete.  Thankfully the local "coffee meets" have managed to keep the connections alive, but here's hoping for a "Big One" in Mannum next year.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Many thanks Stinky Pete and everyone else  who has helped make this Club an amazing meeting place for fantastic folks from all walks of life. The Club has far surpassed my wildest dreams in all aspects, and I must thank the members for being wonderful people whom continue to help champion the ideals and ethos on which the Club was initially founded. Particular thanks go to the admin team and various organising committees who have perpetuated this amazing Club to reach even higher heights and beyond all expectations into our 10th year. We have seen true friendships born all over this country and beyond. It's all about you all. Thanks everyone for being amazing!   :thumb

I echo the sentiments expressed previously. Thanks to all who have worked behind the scenes in promoting the club and arranging Annual Rallies etc. A better bunch of lads and lassies I would not ever have met if the club had not formed. How Chris and I happened to be at a caravan park on the same weekend as an overnight RTE I dont know but it was one of the best things to happen to me. Hopefully restrictions will be lifted soon and we can meet again in the southern states.


So 10 years old eh. May the next 10 be even better. PS 2031 Ruby will be 26 and I will be. Oh. Never    :Cake1 :Cake2
